For the Love of Writing - A Conference at Virginia Beach

For the Love of Writing, a Conference at Virginia Beach Resort Hotel and Conference Center gets under way Thursday evening with an opening reception. Lots of fun and learning for those attending. Keynote speakers will be Barbara Samuel and Cathy Maxwell. Editors and agents will be there to take appointments with attendees.

On Saturday at 10:30 to 11:45 a.m., I'll present a workshop: "Writing Fiction and Non-Fiction, How to Do Both." The event is sponsored by Virginia Romance Writers.

Exciting news for Notes Along the Way! This blog won first place in the 2012 Virginia Press Women's Communication Contest for Blogs: Special Interest Sites. The two posts entered were: "Women's History Month - What Woman Most Influenced Your Writing," March 25, 2011 and "My Three Best Hotels of 2011." The entry will now go to the 2012 National Federation of Press Women's Communication Contest for judging.

About Me

If Mary Montague Sikes isn't playing tennis or watching St. Louis Cardinals' baseball games on satellite TV, you'll probably find her at her computer writing, blogging, or reading e-mails. Sometimes she makes it into her studio where she usually has five or six paintings in progress at once. She and her husband enjoy travel, especially to Jupiter, FL for Cardinals spring training or to Hilton Head, SC for tennis. She also enjoys teaching art to young children and traveling to promote her books.
